| Dunkirk, 23rd July 2017 |
|
| This is a must see film, even for children (although a couple of expletives said), from the very start with soldiers on the streets of Dunkirk being fired upon, to the shore where around 340,000 troops are gathered. The Dunkirk rescue, 1940, was an important change in the way WW2 continued, in that the rescue by hundreds of boats, of all descriptions, going there from Dover and the area, to Dunkirk to rescue troops who were being bombed and shot on the beaches and in Dunkirk, there not being enough rescue ships of the Navy and few aircraft of the RAF. If the Nazis had succeeded in their onslaught in Dunkirk, most of the British Army would have been wiped out. This film is a story of rescue beyond belief and has to be seen. The facts are true and the action horrific, with lots of heroes. Although well known stars in this film, none hogged the limelight. Tom Hardy, who plays an RAF pilot is really only seen in the cockpit of a Spitfire, doing his job, and Mark Rylance, who plays the skipper of a small boat, and Kenneth Branagh who plays a Naval officer, and all putting in marvelous performances....but watch out for Harry Styles of One Direction as a soldier, also putting in a good performance. This film gives the Dunkirk situation the publicity it deserves, showing how brave the troops and civilians were during that time. I urge you to go and see it..... |
